Exploring Refugee Categories and Resettlement

According to Shandy in "Nuer Refugees in America," what category of refugees is most likely to be accepted for resettlement in a second country?

A. True

B. False

Answer:

The correct answer is B. False.

In the reading "Nuer Refugees in America," it was wrongly stated that an "economic refugee" is the refugee most likely to be accepted for resettlement in a second country. This statement is incorrect according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

The UNHCR has developed several categories of refugees based on the causes of their displacement, such as persecution, conflict, or natural disasters. The UNHCR assesses each refugee case individually to determine if the person meets the criteria for refugee status and potential resettlement.

Therefore, the assertion that an "economic refugee" is most likely to be accepted for resettlement in a second country is false. Refugee resettlement is a complex process that considers various factors beyond just economic reasons.
